Algorithmic Programming in Society

Perhaps the hardest task of any serious-minded investor is staying ahead of social trends in America. To do this, one needs to be able to estimate the direction and velocity of different social mood.

For example, investing in a gay nightclub in the 1950’s likely wouldn’t have worked out too well. Whereas investing in one in the mid 1990’s might have made you a fortune. So time is what? Everything!
